The Role
Was helped a lot in the first half but due to a re-structure of the business I feel I had less guidance towards the end.
Was given the chance chance to organise a huge annual conference for our division
The Company
Highs and Lows, but more Highs than lows.
Very well organised before I joined, not much structure to the training I was given
Fantastic, got to visit two European countries and travel around the UK.
Sports and Social Club
National Travel
International Travel
Financial Bonus
Company Parties/Events
Staff Sales/Staff Shop
No jobs avaliable in my department but have been told about the graduate scheme.
The Culture
I was the only student but I got to know a large range of people.
Ascot is not great but Windsor and Reading had some great bars and clubs
A few great oppotunities, we got to see a few stage shows through the Sports and Social club.
